Nixxes the absolute mad lads! This is now their 7th game in less than 3 years after being purchased. Including the HZD remaster. Pretty quick turnaround as well after just a little over 1 year for such a high profile game.
Aww man, figured was the case, but Insomniac confirmed there won't be any story DLC.
A very slowly but surely process. A frog in water slowly turning up the heat. We’ve seen multiplayer games coming day one, and next it seems remakes/remasters will be next to reach PC day one. Uncharted and The Last of Us Part I were announced for both PS5 and PC, but it took the PC version to arrive a little while later. But then we had the Until Dawn remake day and date recently.
And now Sony’s most recent system seller is coming to PC after barely a little over a year. It’s pretty clear to see the direction they’re heading. They’re just getting everyone warmed up to the idea by gradually bringing down the console to PC release window for major single player releases. We may see the first one by the end of this generation.
I still think Sony’s ultimate end goal is to have a PC launcher once they’ve brought over a substantial library with full cross save support (which we’ve seen the past 2 major PC releases have trophy support) bring over PS+ to PC, etc.
That would be the day I just game exclusively on PC, I'm already spending 80% of my time on PC as is.
I mean the ports have been great... but they aren't doing it from scratch either.
The games are already playable on PC on the Devs side from the get go.
Nice, earlier than I expected.
A couple months sooner than expected for Ragnarok was a bit noteworthy but close enough to a full two years that it could be dismissed but this is not even a full 1.5 years later so it looks like the gaps for the big single player games might be shorter going forward. The gap being reduced to 1-1.5 years would certainly be welcome.
Yeah a notable amount of PC gamers are still buying Zero Dawn four years later and should continue to do five years from now so the more games are on there the higher the PC revenue will go. With GTA 6 being console exclusive for probably about a year and the PS5 Pro being the best place to play it during that time the need for exclusivity for first party titles isn't gonna be as important for the 2nd half of this generation for Sony.
What are you talking about? According to sales estimates(and the outdated official sales) most of the games are selling really well.
How is this game already coming to PC but last of us 2 is still MIA 4 years in is baffling.
Likely being withheld for now due to the HBO show for synergy reasons. The game will get another boost when season 2 of the show is out next year and they will announce a PC port at the same time.
Very likely, the remaster was probably made largely to use for an upcoming PC release in addition to squeezing more money out of PS5 players.
Back in early 2024, like start of February (so data from Jan.) we heard that Spider-man Series surpassed a total sale (sold through) of 50million units, with over 10m of those being Spider-man 2's. I wonder how high this series goes, with both now being on pc.
It's sooner than I expected. I was expecting between June 2025 and March 2026.
I can't wait to not be able to buy it at full price, since Sony likes to pretend my island doesn't exist, despite it being smack dab in between the UK/Ireland.
It is meant to be UK based, but it states "ioM" under my account settings.
IoM isn't a country, it's an Island, but we make trade with the UK, our gov talks to the UK gov, we have bridged ISP connections with the UK and so on.
Despite having our own independency and parliament, we very much with in tandem with the UK & Ireland.
With all due respect. You know you can create a UK PSN account and use It for steam connection, right?
You don't needs to buy anything,
Just create the UK account.
Edit. My bad, Steam is no longer listing games in "No PSN regions".
Yeah that was Sony’s decision. Helldivers 2 was being sold in all countries Steam was available in, but when the PSN requirement was made, Sony pulled the game from all non-PSN regions. Even after the requirement was removed, the game didn’t become available again immediately. Now that I think about it, idk if HD2 was ever re-added.
It's also next to impossible to change your own region officially on Steam, because you need to contact Steam support, and go through a tedious back and forth, while also having to get in touch with your ISP to prove who you are, and even then you still run the risk of getting banned by Sony via their ToS (lying on which region you're from).
Also even if someone else from another region were able to change to a different one on Steam, they would end up having to pay more money for that region's currency, and still risk breaking the ToS, which makes the whole ordeal not worth bothering with.
Sony basically created this issue themselves, and it's amazing how quickly it's mounting up. I was able to buy Sony games for yrs, now I can't see any of the new ones coming out on Steam at all...
Another game that requires a PSN account for no apparent reason. It never ceases to baffle me why companies keep requiring these accounts. It's not like it's going to really strengthen my tie me to Sony's ecosystem almost at all, but this greatly reduces the value of the game for me, so this is actively hurting the income Sony could be getting from me. I imagine the benefit Sony gains from this is in general less than how much income they lose because of this.
You know what gets me?, before the PSN enforcement, I was actually able to buy their games on Steam, and now I can't...
They've even been taking down ones like the original HZD, meaning ppl in non-supported PSN regions now cannot buy games like that (and it's going to happen with Days Gone as well).
Also no idea why you're being downvoted, because your comment is a valid issue that is affecting many regions (mine included).
It just tells me that the site hasn't fully finished purging what's left of the warrior mentality.
Like there is zero reason to downvote on what is a factual issue preventing people from buying the game on a different platform.
Honestly the downvote system should be fully removed, since it doesn't give any form of meaningful commentary.
Account registration to play games has been a thing for 20 years now. I had to make a steam account to play Half-life 2 on PC 20 years ago. Did I like it? No. Blizzard accounts. Ubisoft accounts. Epic accounts. It's just the way gaming has been for awhile. It's got nothing to do with console tribalism, it has to do with you thinking your entitled to play Sony's games without a PSN account when making accounts has been the norm for years now.
There is no good reason for these account requirements, so stop defending them. It makes sense for games on Steam to require a Steam account, and the same goes for the other storefronts as well. Sometimes it might make sense for games with online components as well. But for a fully single-player game? No, there is no good reason, no valid defense.
If there's someone or something that feels entitled to something, it's the companies that are feeling entitled to get people to use their so-called services that often provide little to no value whatsoever in many cases.
Yes, account requirements are a bit of a standard for many high-profile games. That doesn't make it immune to critique however. I find it jarring that someone criticizes a person for criticizing a corporate decision that provides little to no value to consumers instead of being critical of the corporate decision, for which there exists valid critique.
If I'm buying a game on Steam then a Steam account should be everything that I need to purchase and play said game.
Exactly!.
The thing is that never would have happened if helldivers pc players never made a huge stink and forcing outrage about non-psn regions on steam. Sony always has and still does encourage people in non-psn regions to create an account in a nearby country as has been the case since psn was inctroduced. but because of the outrage and spreading fake news about sony banning people the games got removed on steam from non-psn regions. with absolutely no way around it unlike on playstation.
As long as u got a PSN account ur good to go lol
Joy more PC Gamers going on about Sweet Baby and some actual issues like PSN on top of that
SBI works closely with Insomniac. It's why the gay flag is everywhere in the game and side missions involve helping out gay prom couples.
Yes PC and Sony fans are rather whiny about such things.
Well Activists really have no place in the games industry tbh.
I'm Bi and I don't mind pride at all, but I draw the line when activists hijack a movement for their own political gains.
People just want games to be games, rather than having irl politics injected into every single facet of gaming. people come home from work to unwind and lose themselves in video games.
Also you can talk. Look at what happened when Nerissa in Pokemon showed up, and the discourse that followed on twitter between Nintendo fans. It was god awfully stupid to see.
That still has nothing to do with SBI, and you're technically slamming people who just want to play a video game without being reminded of IRL activism tactics and politics.
See there is an actual core difference between being passive in your beliefs and then there's being in your face aggressive/passive-aggressive, and activism follows the latter, I follow the former.
I'm not going to force people to accept Pride as a concept, but you can bet your soul there are people currently working within the games industry, that are actively trying to weaponize entire games, studios and franchises to mock those who don't adhere to activist ideologies, and you seem to be falling for it.
Has it ever occurred to you that we've had women in video games before, as well as film?. We've had all sorts of characters in video games from different races, to male/female, and there was no need to force marketing to champion a game based on race of gender/sex, because normal people don't need to do that, only activists do when they want to push an ideology, that's how they operate.
An SBI employee openly admitted how SBI's "goal" is to burn down the video game industry.
Educate yourself! Reject activism and propaganda in games.
yes, a gay couple and pride flags ruined spiderman 2. sure.
Yeah it's got nothing to do with the flags in the game, but SBI is operated by activists who do in fact seek to tear down the current image of the games industry and replace it with their own.
See the thing is, it's fine when you're a quirky studio doing your own thing, owning your own brand, your own style, your own way of doing things, that's dandy and kosher.
What's not kosher is trying to go passive aggressive towards not only the customers everywhere else, but the companies as well. Trying to push an entire industry to adhere to a singular ideology is actually a bad idea, because it doesn't allow for free speech.
It's not a conspiracy theory or anything. You can literally look up their clips and interviews and listen to how they talk and go about doing what they want to see done.
Yeah, but there's no "activism or propaganda" in Spider-man 2 despite what any of the employees of SBI said.
There's a gay couple... in a side mission, some pride flags around the city (I think I saw 3 during my entire time playing this game) and a BLM grafitti. Also a deaf black character if you want to be really picky I guess.
That's... not pushing a singular ideology. That's not "burning down the videogame industry". That's also not propaganda or activism... or a repression of free speech.
Maybe they ruined games turning them woke or whatever (I doubt it but let's just agree to disagree and leave it at that), but that's not the case here, and they even work closely with Insomniac, apparently!
I am aware, but I was referring to SBi, and before that about Nexus mods, when I talked to KrspaceT.
I'm not talking about that kind of push either. I was talking more about the SBI talks and articles, their literal timelines where they talk ill of those that do not agree with their ideologies, not what flag is in a video game, because that's super simplifying it and trying to bring out the bigot bingo card.
There are games out there right now that have worked with SBI that just aren't selling well or earned a bad rep, but because we're looking at Spider-man 2, no one is paying attention to the others, that's my main point of contention. I actually DO NOT care about the flags in Spider-man 2, I am literally a Bi guy, I like men as well as women, so any sort of spin onto calling me a loon or anti pride is just not going to work ehre, I'm just going to nip that in the bud here and now (in case you're getting those kind of vibes).
I just don't sit well with the idea that "there are zero activists anywhere, doing anything in the world", and I turn around behind my back and see all the DEI funding, all those same ppl being funded talking about how they loathe men and hate anyone that doesn't lean far left, and for ppl to not see that as a growing issue is what makes it more wild to me.
Sony should have gone for early december though, than it would have had a nice holiday boost. Oh well not that PS titles sell all that well on Steam to begin with thank to some questionable decisions from Sony.
Watch a lot less sales than what Sony wanted.
DEI made Spiderman 2 worse than SM 1, PS sign in on Steam is a massive turn off that PC gamers should & will reject. & PC gamers still feel like 2nd class gamers for Sony games compared to Xbox who release day and date.. … all those reasons & more you’ll see a huge drop-off in sales compared to what Sony really wanted.
Also, Sony is desperate for money which is why they are releasing this so early on PC , much earlier than usual.
PS, I’m never buying SM 2 on PC. Ever.
So you want to complain about PC players being 2nd class citizens...when your treating minorities as 2nd class citizens with your DEI comment.
Except you were talking about the previous Spider-Man game and didn't iterate on which version you were talking about.
Also that mod author was banned off Nexus Mods and the mod itself was removed?.
In case it wasn't made clear at this point, Nexus mods are operated by a far left leaning spectrum, one that does not tolerate anyone in the center (like myself) or anyone on the right (those that wanted to mod out the flags with regular USA flags, you know how some US folk can be patriotic).
Either way, there are plenty of regions like my own that Sony is just not going to see any money from, and that's their issue.
